Royal Adelaide Hospital

Dr McFETRIDGE (Morphett) (14:45): Supplementary: is the minister aware that the Belair train line, which is the closest train line to the new Royal Adelaide Hospital, was not functioning when the technical investigation was undertaken to install the antivibration technology, and it may not be sufficient?

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING (Playford—Minister for Health, Minister for Mental Health and Substance Abuse, Minister for the Arts, Minister for Health Industries) (14:45): I will get a report, but I know that surgeons have been through the new Royal Adelaide Hospital, through the operating suites, and I had heard nothing but praise. Certainly, no-one has raised with me that the vibrations from the trains are going to cause any problem. I have to say that the great thing about the new Royal Adelaide Hospital is that it is earthquakeproof, so I think a few passing trains aren't going to cause a problem.

The SPEAKER: We wouldn't want to see the Minister for Health lose his job because of the vibe.
